This station was top
40 WWEZ until 1958, when WTIX 1450 (a class IV AM signal) bought the more
desirable frequency. WTIX was one of the 6 Storz stations (Storz was among
the nation's earliest and most diminant top 40 broadcasters). WTIX remained
a powerhouse in the market from 1958 until the late 70's, AM top 40 became
a dinosaur. Keeping the legendary calls, it then embarked on various attempts
at a viable format... Oldies, all-talk, nostalgia and back to all-talk
where it is today. The daytime signal covers a large area; night time one
does in theory, but Cuban interference keeps it from being a reality.
